Product Details

1 gallon glass screw-top jug. Great for fermenting small batches of beer, wine, or mead, or storing overflow from a larger batch. This is the same jug used in our 1 Gallon Small Batch Starter Kit and the Master Vintner® Small Batch Wine Starter Kit for secondary fermentation.

I originally bought this because I had a particularly stubborn stuck fermentation, and I wanted to mix my yeast starter in with ~1 gallon of must before adding it to the primary fermenter to get it acclimated. Worked great for that, and now I have it around for overflow, small batches, etc. At this price you can't afford NOT to have one :-D.

I purchased five of these to do some experimenting with a Cream Ale. This is a great, cheap product (cheap financially, not cheap quality). My only negative feedback on this product is, if you choose to get the stoppers, that they will not stay in very well if the stopper or the inside rim is wet. This could obviously be avoided if you choose to get the screw-tops and/or ensure the area is dry before attempting to fit the stopper on the carboy. The other thing is that a thief will not fit in the opening. The thief that I have is the one that comes with the essential gravity-testing kit from NB. Aside from that, I thoroughly enjoy that these are budget-friendly and are somewhat lightweight (especially compared to a 5-gallon glass carboy).

I've been experimenting with flower wines, hard ciders, & aperitifs this year -- this is the perfect size for trying out this kind of stuff. Great to have a couple of these handy for when the mood strikes.

These 1gal jugs are great for sample batches. I often make a gallon batch of mead to decide if it's worth the investment for the amount of honey and other ingredients for a full 5 or 6 gallon batch.Can't beat the price of these either.

The glass jugs worked as well as any glass jug. As mentioned in other reviews, it's very hard to get stoppers to stay in when they are wet/sanitized. Also, for some reason one of the glass jug mouths could not fit my wine thief in it no matter how hard I tried. When looking at the 4 different jugs they look almost identical, but one of the mouths was smaller. Luckily my siphon still fit in all of them.

I don't brew beer, I make aguas frescas (non-alcoholic beverages made from fruits, cereals, flowers, or seeds). I purchased these jugs specifically for when I make hibiscus water which stains and leaves a taste on plastic containers. The jugs work great for this purpose and are easy to clean. Also these were significantly less expensive to purchase from Northern Brewer than from other sites like Amazon. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

These glass jugs are everything I wanted and more. The glass is thick and sturdy enough that one of them has fallen several feet and landed on its side on tile flooring with no issues! These are great. 10 out of 10!

I could not believe the care taken in my shipment. When I saw the care involved with shipping my gallon jugs I think it increased the care of my fermentation. I didn't purchase the jugs for beer but for Dit Da Jow fermentation of my pain and swelling medicine for my Kung fu. I was very very pleased with the product I received.

I bought this for making starters and it works perfectly for that. It's small enough to fit in my fridge for cold crashing. Got the suggested screw-cap too, which is nice. I'm going to have a long, happy relationship with this jug.

Recently got the 1 gallon first-timer's kit with Caribou Slobber, I'm not sure I yielded 1 gallon after brewing but didn't measure the carboy for a fill line to achieve 1 gallon. Do you guys have a sense for where the 1 gallon mark is on these? (at shoulder? base of neck? near the embossed markings? top of neck?) Thanks!

BEST ANSWER:I have not measured where the 1 gallon fill line is on the 1 gallon glass carboy either. Since I use it for making wine, the water is measured before combining with the fruit juice prior to placing in the carboy.
